In light of the rising frequency of human/grizzly bear conflicts, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is advising hikers, hunters, and fishermen to take extra precautions and keep alert for bears while in the field.
We strongly advise that outdoorsmen wear a little bell on their clothing so as not to startle bears that aren't expecting you. We also advise outdoorsmen to carry pepper spray in case of an encounter with a bear.
Outdoorsmen should recognize the difference between black bear and grizzly bear droppings. Black bear droppings are smaller and contain lots of berries and squirrel fur. Grizzly bear droppings are larger and contain little bells and smell like pepper.
